The Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Yue Hong 2 

An Indonesian film that brings strong representation of Asian descent in this heart-warming tale of a woman and her dog.

The gentle, emotional nuances of Evan’s coming-of-age story would have been so beneficial to have incorporated into the life of a POC character. Showing a Black, Asian or Latino young man that is afforded the space to be vulnerable, flawed and sensitive while driving a compelling and widely-loved narrative would have been a game changer.

This is not McDonald’s.  This is something different. 

A surprise sequel takes place ten years after the original movie based on the title of the same name, but with a twist to the fairy tale.

Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.

Sing 2 the beat in this jukebox sequel featuring anthropomorphic animals with musical talent.
